Tlie national jny lias been sniklenl3' turned to mourning! Exuberant congratnlations at the 
Ijrilliant victories of the Union armies have given place to the lamentations of grief and sadness. 
The glorious banner of our ]ibert\', proudly floating from every house-top, emblem of our strength, 
now droops with the sombre draperies of woe, at half mast. A- great and a good man has fallen! 
Stricken down by the hand of an assassin, in a moment of fancied security and relaxation from eares 
of State, without note of warning, 

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States, 

Whereas — The parricidal hand has been nerved by this wicked rebellion, whicli for four years 
has i)ecn striving to overthrow our Government ; we desire, in common witli all good and loyal 
citizens, to place upon reeoid our utter detestation of the horrid crime, and our unqualitied con- 
demnation of the cause which induced or incites to Assassination — the most odious means known 
to civilization for the removal of an enemy. 

And WiiicEEAS— At a time when, by the surrender and dispersion of the Rebel armies, be- 
fore the invincible hosts of the Union, the so-called Confederacy was fast crumbling away, and the 
jtrospcct of speedy peace gave us the right to expect no more bloodshed, the very head of the 
nation — the highest representative of a free people in all the world — is called at such a time to 
give his life's blood in defence of the Riglit. Now, therefore,

Kesoi.ved Tliat in liuniMc ^llllnli^sioll to tlie iletTee of Almiglity God, wlio, in liis own 

inscrutable Providence ptrniits tliis <;reat crime to he visited upon ns, we reverently and devoutly 
iirav, tliat the "Wisdom which governs the universe, and jicrmits not "even a sparrow to fall to the 
"ruund without his knowledi::e," may so guide our hearts and direct our minds, that we may duly 
realize the lesson intended to lie taught ns as a nation, by this aitiicting dispensation. 

Kksolved — That we tender our heartfelt sympathies to the widow and family of the Illustrious 
Dead. "We mourn with them for the lo.ss of a common protector and father — one whose heart ever 
heat with the largest humanity — who wept with those who wept over the fallen heroes of this 
desperate struggle — who exi^ended his efforts to relieve the oppressed, and wlio succeeded in setting 
the captives free. 

liESOLVED — That the eulogy of Abraham Lincoln is already written in the hearts of the 
American people. The mighty outpourings of a generous nation to cast a look or shed a tear 
upon the remains of all that was mortal of the noble patriot, testify to the reverence and love with 
which he was regarded by all classes — that love which he so magnaniinously reciprocateil and 
manifested in all his public acts. 

Resolved — That as Washington is revered and honored as the Father of his ConntiT, and 
the founder of our Government, so will Abraham Lincoln be enrolled as the great Martyr to Iliunan 
Liberty, and who gave his life in support and defence of that Governmen*. Together their names 
will be blended in one immortal wreath — both among the "names that were not born to die," 

IJesolvkd — That in the exigencies of a great struggle for the preservation of its life, this 
(iovernment put into the hands of its President greater powers than were ever before, in the history 
of the world, voluntarily bestowed upon one man; yet, in the exercise of this power, AnRAiiAM 
Lincoln proved himself i[ualificd for its i>roper uses. lie was wise in council, calm in judgment, 
unmoved by passion, actuated by considerations of public good, the love of his country, the preserv- 
ation of the Union, the protection and perpetuity of the Goveruuu-nt, and the welfare of the Pcpublic. 

liESOLVED — That although the Executive dies, the Government lives. Our Constitution has 
Aviscly provided for continuous and pcrnuiucnt existence. Py this provision the mantle of Elijah 
has fallen upon Elisha. Wo believe that in Anpkew Johxson, the r^jpresentative head of the 
Government, the people have an earnest, able, sincere and tried statesman and patriot. We tender 
to his administration of the difficult task imjiosed ujiou him by this blow, o:ir entire confidence and 
support. In his exercise of the powers intrusted to him we have perfect faith that ho will so temper 
Justice with Mercy, tliat the great criminals, the leaders t)f this rebellion, the authors and abettors 
of the murder of luindreds of thousands of our loyal people, shall be made to suS'er the penalties that 
violated laws impose for their crime. We cahidy rely on his own drclaratirm : " That mercy to one 
is cruelty to thousands," and "that treason is a crime, and must !),■ punished;" and although wo 
advocate no measures for revenge, wc commend ju-t luiuishment in vindication of outraged law.

His Spirit has ascended to the Throne on High, there to receive the reward of "Well done, 
thou good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." 

AI»mT^ 33, 1805. 

"Shroud the banner! rear the Cross! 
Consecrate a nation's loss; 
Gaze on that majestic sleep, 
Stand beside his bier and weep; 
Lay the gentle Son of Toil 
Proudly in his native soil; 
Crowned with honor to his rest 
Bear the Prophet of the West."
